Ingredients

250g medium green prawns, peeled, deveined

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons lime juice

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes

100g rocket leaves

1 avocado, chopped

How to

Mix the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, soy and chilli in a small bowl.

Heat a non-stick frying pan or wok over high heat. Add the prawns and cook, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until prawns curl and change colour. Remove and place in a heatproof bowl.

Add the mixed sauces to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until the sugar dissolves and then add the prawns and stir for 2 minutes until the sauce has reduced and is sticky and the prawns are caramelised.

To serve, place rocket and chopped avocado on plates and top with the prawns. Spoon over the pan sauce and serve.
